So much to love about Ringo Deathstarr…starting of course with the name, neck and neck right now with I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness for My Favorite Austin Band Name. But mostly of course there’s the music, a loving shoegaze revival that’s been greeted with open arms in the across the Atlantic in the birthplace of shoegaze, and enjoys a devoted, if smaller, following here in Austin. And today is the day their debut full-length Colour Trip arrives, complete with appropriately anglicized spelling.
Ringo Deathstarr will be a part of the (free!) Eastbound Getdown at 1500 E. 2nd, Thursday 3/17 during SXSW.
